All Saints Church and
St Christopher's Church
Boughton Aluph, Kent
Lambeth Palace, London SE1, October 1952
"No-one driving along the road from Chilham to Ashford can fail to observe the massive tower of Boughton Aluph church standing as its eminence to the right of the road. The church has a most impressive exterior and a noble interior. It is a special treasure among all the lovely churches of Kent."
Geoffrey Cantuar
The introduction from a letter written by the then Archbishop of Canterbury (Geoffrey Fisher) in October 1952 in support of the appeal to raise funds to save this beautiful but war-damaged church from collapse.
WHAT'S ON?
Next Sunday, 19th is the third Sunday of the month so we celebrate Morning Prayer in a service led by the wardens. And this will be the last service for a bit in our "winter" church of St Christopher's by the Green. Afterwards (ie on 26th) we shall be at All Saints until the autumn, and ready to accept the St-Martin-in-the-Fields pilgrims the day after. Maybe you can help with that? Full details next week.
And here's what's planned for the rest of the year.
